ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann— -—-Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock On next Sunday, the 21st, the young people of St Christopher will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. An Anniversary Requiem High Mass will be said for Florence Zore Saturday morning at 6 o’clock. Mrs. Zore was very active in all St. Christopher affairs and at the time of her death she was treasurer of the Altar Society. Many ladies who are members of the society, as well as many of her friends and relatives will attend this Mass. There are not enough words to say all the good things we’d like to say about Florence, but to know her was to love her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Do you have your ticket for the Mother and ■ Daughter Communion Breakfast? Have you been asked to buy one? If not and you would like to go Sunday morning—this coming Sunday—call Mrs. Adeline Helmchen, chairman, BElmont 3087, and she will see that a ticket is delivered to you. Remember . you don’t have to be a Catholic to attend this breakfast, nor do you have to have a daughter. Miss Helen O’Gara, principal of a public school on West Washington Street, and a promoter of the Legion of Mary Society, will be the speaker. Miss O’Gara is a graduate of St. John’s Academy and is known to many for her activities in the Cathedral Parish and different religious organizations. Mrs. Delia Collins is to be the master of ceremonies. There will be an orchid presented to the oldest mother at the breakfast, The serving will start after the 8:30 Mass, about a quarter to ten. The ladies on the April Committee will assist the October Committee in the serving. Mrs. Nola Medenwald is chairman of the April Committee, Mrs. Helen Freund, co-chairman, and Mesdames Anna Vurpillat, Katherine Keating, Dolores Rolles, Letha Medenwald, Pauline Nester, Oliva Bische, Agnes Randall, Clara Aulbach, Myrtle Grande, Anna Wingender, Agnes Zeunik and Nora Bray complete the committee. Envelopes were distributed at all the Masses last Sunday and everyone was encouraged to join the Society of the Propagation of the Faith on next Sunday, October 21st, Mission Sunday. Have you forgotten to say your Rosary daily? If you should miss one day, don’t be discouraged, but say the beads next day with more fervor and devotion. Let us not forget the month of October is dedicated to Holy Mary, Mother of u God| in the most Holy Rosary, and remember otff ■ promises to her on the first Sunday of this month. Wednesday, October 24th, is the feast day of St. Raphael, the Archangel. "... because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many. . . .”—St. Matthew 25:21. NORA BRAY.

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR We received this letter in the nail Wednesday and we thought we would do well to print it. To Speedway Flyer: “I’m not an old foggy, for it hasn’t been many years that I did a good job of soaping windows myself, but I hardly think it is necessary for these boys to be out having their fun weeks before Hallowe’en. I don’t mind washing soap off windows but it’s rather hard to maintain a sense of humor and s wash windows every day. “Why can’t parents explain the art of not wearing out your welcome? Or at least, see that their children don’t roam the streets Hallowe’en quite so early. “Why not an article in our paper to this effect? A Reader.”
